Business Intelligence in One RepositoryRecent analysts’ research suggests that 80 percent of enterprise content exists in unstructured formats (such as in emails, documents, web pages) or semi-structured formats (e.g., XML). Traditional business intelligence (BI) systems merely tap into the 20 percent of structured corporate data in transactional databases and the data warehouse. AIE enables enterprises to blend structured and unstructured data allowing customers to analyze all the relevant data for complete business intelligence. Learn more about our BI features. BRING BI TO THE MASSESNavigated search and discovery platform – traditional BI applications require some knowledge of relational database concepts and structured query language (SQL) for anything beyond simply consuming “canned reports” or dashboards. BI applications have consistently failed over the years to provide information discovery for non-technical users. In contrast, web portals and search solutions are used by many people every day to help them find information they need. IT professionals now realize that the same techniques of search and navigated browsing are the key for enabling true BI for the masses by giving all users the ability to browse, analyze and navigate through corporate information. ACTIVEActive intelligence and alerting - AIE has been specifically designed for handling real-time indexing and querying. AIE supports real-time, incremental indexing so fresh data is continuously streamed into the system and made immediately available for querying. Furthermore, AIE is built on top of a light-weight messaging system that allows for asynchronous or synchronous processing. A robust library of Connectors allow ingesting content from many data sources and repositories, inside and outside the corporate firewall, including file systems, databases, mail servers, web sources and enterprise applications. AIE allow users to create actions based on new content or the results of a saved query. Actions can be as simple as alerting users via email and SMS or starting a more sophisticated process such as updating a database or triggering a CRM application. |
